Foxhound doesn't care about the gaps in her memory. Being a Contractor, a kind of spacefaring mercenary, keeps her occupied enough. Rather than dwelling, she rockets around the farthest reaches of the solar system, earning a steady paycheck hunting down ne'er-do-wells and enjoying a semblance of freedom most folks in the outer colonies can't dream of. So when she receives an urgent prisoner transfer request from a cult starship, she accepts the gig. She figures that transporting a bone marrow-eating serial killer from the cult's colony back to Earth is just another well-paying job that'll keep her mind off things. Upon discovering that the suspect in custody is an orphan girl-one that could pass for her much younger doppelgänger-she decides it's time to get some answers. Before she can piece together who the girl is and how their lives intertwine, a group of violent prisoners aboard Foxhound's starship breaks free. As the once-peaceful cultists take up arms in response, the Contractor teams up with her mechanized AI assistant and two of the cult's wayward members to stop the barbaric escapees and elude the grasp of the cult's radicalized leader. And when that's done, she can focus on figuring out the secret behind the mysterious, potentially dangerous girl-but will she even want to know the truth?"Hounds of Gaia is a well-crafted and deeply engaging science fiction work with an ending that leaves readers eager for the next exciting installment in the series, and I can't wait for more." - K.C.

This book sets forth the history of intercollegiate athletics at Florida institute of Technology, commonly known as Florida Tech. Florida Tech was founded in 1958 on Florida's Space Coast in order to provide continuing education for engineers and scientists at nearby Cape Canaveral in the early days of space exploration. Within a few years, the university began to develop a robust intercollegiate athletic program. The book seeks to pay tribute to the men and women who have been responsible for the success of the program. At the same time, it illustrates how an intercollegiate athletic program can succeed and remain consistent with the core values of the university. In today's environment of big-time college sports, the distinction between intercollegiate sports and professional sports becomes blurred as academic institutions compromise academic standards in pursuit of athletic success and devote a disproportionate share of resources to athletics at the expense of academic needs. The book makes a compelling argument that an intercollegiate sports program can support and enhance the academic objectives of the institution without compromising academic standards or misallocating resources.Florida Tech competes In NCAA Division II and the highly competitive Sunshine State Conference. It does so while adhering to its rigorous academic standards with an emphasis on science and engineering. The book demonstrates that in order to maintain such an athletic program, the university must have a strong, well-articulated value system and must insist that all adhere to those values.Another conclusion to be drawn from the book is that volunteers devoting their efforts to support the athletic teams can go a long way toward offsetting the limited resources available within the university's budget.Readers should find comfort in the fact that this book demonstrates that even today an intercollegiate sports program can be managed in a manner that causes the program to provide all of the benefits that caused colleges to sponsor sports programs while avoiding compromising the values of the institution.

Consider these two organizations. Which one sounds more compassionate?Organization X offers people food in exchange for money. When people refuse to exchange money for Organization X's food, Organization X uses their own money to market their products and reinvest in facilities which entice customers to shop there. If customers refuse to buy food from Organization X, Organization X will go out of business.Organization Q produces food. Organization Q claims that since food is necessary for life and a healthy populace, people should be forced to chip in for Organization Q's costs. Those who do not pay will be put in jail by employees of Organization Q, and if you resist Organization Q's employees, the employees have the right to shoot you in defense of their own lives.Which organization sounds more compassionate? Which organization would you prefer to interact with?Governments provide many things, such as security, schools, intelligence gathering, and poverty assistance programs, but none of these are defining characteristics of governments. They can be provided by many non-government actors in society, and historically, they have been.What makes government a unique institution in society is its widely recognized right to achieve its ends via threats of violence against non-aggressors.This is why you would go to jail for trying to "tax" someone's income, or if you attempted to "regulate" the commercial interactions of strangers, or "declared war" on one of your foes.Hence, governmental organizations are more like Organization Q, and organizations in the free market are more like Organization X.I became a Progressive when I thought that Progressivism meant being compassionate. I stopped being a Progressive when I realized that putting massive obligations on strangers through government coercion was not compassion.
